Use natural colors

Skip the chemical-laden synthetic colors and opt for natural and organic ones instead. These are made from ingredients like maize starch, herbs, flowers, and fruit and vegetable extracts. They are gentler on the skin and the environment, and they wash away easily.

Say no to balloons and plastic bags

Plastic balloons and water guns are not only wasteful, but they can also harm animals. Instead, use natural alternatives like  pichkaris (water guns) made of bamboo or metal, and throw gulal (colored powder) with your hands.

Conserve water

Holi is traditionally a time for throwing water balloons and drenching each other with colored water. However, this can lead to a lot of water wastage. Be mindful of how much water you use, and try to find other ways to have fun.

Make your own colors
